Paladin Warnings - Fan Update

I'm no longer maintaining this fan update. The original PaladinWarnings (linked above) received an update today, so I strongly suggest checking that out.

I liked the way PaladinWarnings worked, because I have no more room on my action bars to put down all my Hand of ...'s and am using ClassButtons.
I updated the functionality a little bit, changed 'Blessing of Protection' to 'Hand of Protection' etc., added Divine Intervention and Lay on Hands, and fixed grammar in the localization. Further I stripped the addon down a bit.

Current Version is bčta, please give me your feedback about the not-whispering thing and the /pw loh slash command, does the option last over sessions?

Now then, what exactly is this addon (since the page from the original addon isn't too helpful )?

Whenever you do one of the following spells on someone, you will whisper that person as well to notify them:
* Hand of Protection
* Hand of Freedom
* Hand of Salvation
* Hand of Sacrifice
* Lay on Hands (/pw loh will turn this message off)
* Divine Intervention
* Divine Protection

This addon is enabled by default,
Type '/pw', '/palawarn' or '/paladinwarnings' to disable this addon.
'/pw loh' disables the messages sent to players receiving LoH, typing it again enables it again.

The '[W To] 80:Matsuri:3-Alonsus' message in the screenshot is from Prat, without a chat addon this would show as 'To [Matsuri]:'.
80:Matsuri:3-Alonsus just means that he is level 80, name Matsuri, raid group 3, realm Alonsus.

~2.0b~
* Updated .TOC for patch 4.0.1.

~2.0a~
* Updated .TOC for patch 3.3.0.

~2.0~
* Stripped some of the unnecessary code, making it smaller again!

~1.9~
* Fixed a typo.
* Added AddonLoader support.
* Added a checker to shut down the addon when you aren't a Paladin and haven't got AddonLoader installed. Somehow I seem to have made version 1.7 from 1.5b, ignoring the 1.6 update in which I implemented this.
* Made it even smaller, still room for improvement though but have to bčtatest that myself first.

~1.8b~
* I suck. Don't ask :P (added the LoH slash command but forgot to make it work with whispering)

~1.8~
* Fixed the 'self-whispering' thing (hopefully).
* Made a slash command (/pw loh) that will disable/enable the message sent to people you're LoH'ing.
* Made file smaller, removed some functions that didn't work anyway.

~1.6~
* Made PaladinWarnings not load when not on a Paladin... thought I already implemented that though :)

~1.5b~
* Updated .TOC for patch 3.1.0.

~1.5~
* Fixed little bug.
* Found screenshot.

~1.4~
* UNBELIEVABLE! THEY MADE A QUICK PREVIEW BUTTON LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER I REQUESTED IT! :O :O
* Added slash command, first time so if it works I > happy.
* [s]Uploaded screenshot.[/s] Finding screenshot...
* Anyone that is experienced with buff modding please send me a PM for solving the first TODO bug on the info pane. Got an idea myself but can't find time or intellect to solve it.

I'm playing on RU realm and i want to use Paladin Warnings. What files should I modify to make it work? I made some changes (translate spell names and error messages) in localization.lua, but it still doesn't work.

If you could send me a PM with your version of localization.lua (for example hosted on TextDump), I'll integrate it and make it work (hopefully..., when WoW is back on my computer. Had to reinstall and now can't get it back on because my TBC CD3 is broken >.<... downloading the tbc client now).

And as of March 2010 I'm still trying to resolve the inability of installing patch 3.2.0. Blizzard Customer Support voted for me as the one with the craziest problem, because I tried litteraly everything. Whenever it's back up, you'll see the updates rolling back out again!

Thanks for great addon.

Originally posted by Jehm Great addon! My raid team loves it because they have a better sense that I am watching over them. I know its a little a-field but the feedback I think has a positive psychological affect. Particularly say on bosses where HoPing the tank is part of the strategy.

Great to hear that

Originally posted by Jehm A suggestion... is there a chance the addon could include the ability to whisper multiple predefined targets when a cast is completed successfully? For example when there are multiple CDs on the tank and you want to let the next in line know they are up?

I'm not entirely sure I understand this fully... I understand the first part but the example makes me tbh , what do you mean with the Cooldowns + next in line? Haven't been playing for a while, had to play CoD:MW2, and after that I had to reinstall WoW (which is a HUGE pain in the @$$...).

Well done!

I'm so spoiled with addons I didn't even think about a macro -.-
I'd rather see you using this macro, because PaladinWarnings is based on sending messages when the spellcast is complete, not when it's starting it.

PaladinWarnings has been updated to version 1.8!
This includes:
* You will no longer whisper yourself when casting a spell listed in the addon page on yourself.
* You can type /pw loh to disable/enable the message sent to people you're Lay on Handing.
* Serious stripping down of code, got rid of 1/3rd of the code.

It's a bčta release, can't get on WoW myself for a while so need YOU to check out if it worked. Read the red line on the main page .

Originally posted by Chew I just thought that your mod is about letting people know if they gain a buff from me in a wisper, so on that occasion I try to get someone up, I would like to have it handled the very same way as your mod does.

I'll look into it, finally found enough free time to put in slash commands and a possible workaround contra the self-whispering. Will release those first (if all's well tomorrow), and then work on the ressing thing.
Little question though, do you want the addon to /whisper the one you're ressing or in /raid, so others see who you're ressing? For now I"ll only implement the /whispering, because that's what this addon's core is build for by the original maker.

Well that mod does not have what I am after - As I am either Ret or Prot, I am not ressing people that often and therefore I dont need to let my follow ressers know whom I am on (we use Ora2/3 for that anyway, so that is covered), just not that stupid rogue I am on, wont have Ress-window toggled.

I just thought that your mod is about letting people know if they gain a buff from me in a wisper, so on that occasion I try to get someone up, I would like to have it handled the very same way as your mod does.

Another fact is, that I prefer to minimise the amount of AddOns I use - so, as I landed here, I'd like to have this included please ...
